Looking for input here. Driving the 914-6 (3.0 w/side shift 901) this afternoon in 4th gear when I heard a "noise" or whine and smelled something "warm". Of course I slowed down and it did not occur again at low speeds. I was close to home so I got to the driveway and stopped to look into the problem. At this point the shifter would not move and when I let the clutch out it makes a unpleasant grinding noise. I had the wife steer and I pushed it into the garage.
A little background. The car has always had a little grind going into first and I noticed a little more "grind" than usual today if that means anything. I think it is serious because of the sound and odor thing. Possibly just a shifter thing? Probably not? Planning on pulling it and having it rebuilt most likely? Ideas? |

Well I got the transaxle back in the car and now I think I have a new problem? Took it for a drive and there is now a whine in the gearbbox. Not too noticable under load but once I get into 4th I can hear it all the time. Did not have that whine before.
I changed the oil and there was a bit of metal in the oil, nothing to speak of on the magnet but considering the oil was fresh and I only drove the car around 10 miles I wonder if now that the gearset is properly torqued that may have changed the clearances? I need a bit of guidance here... Time to take it out again and send it in? |
